Test the RAM (2 x 32GB 3200MHz) for 24 hours no errors all passed.
Tried another set of RAM (2x 8GB 2400MHz)

Tried 3 USB: Brands: Kingston, Kioxia, Sandisk

Did a sanity check, tested formatted 4 Nvme (2 x 1TB and 2 x 256GB) no problems.

Hardware is:

GMKTec M5 Plus
Amd Ryzen 7 5825U
1GBPS Eth (Realtek)

Nvme: Fangxiang 1TB, 256GB Samsung Pro 960

I had to take screenshots as the "diagnostics" option does not work. Tried several fresh installs with 7.2.4, 7.2.5, 7.2.6 on each stick.

Not quite sure where to go from here. I cannot generate logs, or more accurately not sure how. "Diagnostics" option does not work. nomodeset does not make a difference

If you see the errors with a stock Unraid install and assuming multiple flash drives were used, it suggests a hardware problem.

I suspected as much, after so many attempts.

I would like to try to narrow down the problem. Are there any tests that can be done on the CPU? I believe RAM and Nvme and USB are fine, I feel it's the SoC/motherboard that has gone haywire

You can try installing other OS and see if it's the same, or if it works, run some tests.

I tried Windows and CachyOS neither would install, the latter causing a kernel panic. So it's definitely hardware, Thanks
